I wish I could sew

[shootingstar]

My grandmother gave me a sewing machine as a wedding present. It was utilized as a clever doorstop, a makeshift step stool, a booster seat, a side table (with a towel over it, now that is classy...but we were in college), a device to prop up a shelf, and, finally, a dust catcher.
I can't sew on a button.

Maybe if you are unwilling to sell it, at least loan it to someone who would use it down the street or be a Big Sister to a young lady in need of this valuable tool. Or speak with someone at a women's shelter who knows of a client in need..

It is tough economic times out there, I'm certain there is someone who would use it. I'm hanging onto mine, because I know how to sew and do alter my clothing at this time, if nothing else.
